[lxml-dev] read .xlsx spreadsheets with lxml ?

16 Nov 2010


      Folks,
  has anyone read spreadsheets, .xlsx aka excel-2007, with lxml ?
A simple API along the lines of csv would be nice:

    doc = openxmllib.openXmlDocument( path= "...xlsx" )
    for row in doc:
        for col in row: # num / string

(Background: Mac Openoffice chokes on an xlsx with > 65536 rows, grr.)

Thanks, cheers
